Thrift Store Shopping: Economical or White Trash?
I used to turn my nose up at thrift stores. It was like a huge garage sale for some organization's profit. Used everything.
But then I started losing a lot of weight. It was pointless to pay full price for brand new clothes whenever I'd shrink out of them in about a month or two anyway. I decided to give thrift stores a chance. I'm glad I did. You know, you may have to look a little longer, but you can really find some hidden gems! What say you? Are you a thrift store shopper, or do you view yourself as being above it? |

Thrift stores are good for certain things. I was actually at one yesterday. The only things i ever buy are books though. The only things worth buying from thrift stores are usually:
1. Books 2. Old NES/SNES video games 3. Sometimes certain kitchen things....like pot and pans. I've picked up some really nice Stainless steel Pots for just a few dollars.

It's not for me as I don't enjoy looking and shopping for stuff, but it's a smart idea

Only 'clothes' I think I've ever bought were some choice shoes
2 pair of Johnston and Murphy 1 Pair Polo 1 Pair Ferragamo They were all stiff leather and in perfect shape, so it isn't worse hygeinically than wearing lightly worn bowling shoes. all 4 pairs $75.

I make a pretty good living. I do, from time to time, stop in to thrift stores looking for camping stuff, camo shit,etc. I bought a pair of damn near new Arizona jeans for $2 a few years ago. Nothing wrong with being smart.

It's also a great place to go when you need to put together a Hobo or white trash Halloween costume.

I am not but I've seen others get real gems. I just don't have the patience. I'll stick to sales at Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Dillards for now.
